Not Your Typical Graduation Card

The Clean & Simple Stamping blog has "Fall To Layouts" or FTLs, and "Fall To Colors" or FTCs. Today's card is an idea for a graduation card--but not your usual graduation card. Mind you, this card could be adapted to a general graduation merely by substituting school colors.



This card was created to fulfill the FTL90 challenge and, as you can see, was done in patriotic colors and could be used for a young man or woman who has completed boot camp; specifically, I was thinking of Army boot camp. From 1980 to 2001, the Army's recruiting slogan was Be All You Can Be. The sentiment on my card is The Best is Yet to Be. I am not, by this post, supporting war or the events that lead to war. Like it or not, though, these brave men and women have made their career choice--whether it be a lifelong military career or a starting point from which they will have access to other and better opportunities--and that I support. I have several family members and friends who have either served or are currently serving in a branch of the military, and I respect and admire their choice and their many sacrifices. I think it's important to keep this in mind as we near the Memorial Day holiday. Thanks for stopping by today and having a look! Have a GREAT day!!

Dreams . . . Take Two

Yesterday I posted a card, the sentiment of which I thought would be perfect for graduation cards, being that graduation celebrations are right around the corner. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I not only used the sentiment, but repeated the layout as well (if it ain't broke, don't fix it!). I created three versions of the same card--clean and simple, clean and simple with masculine bling, and clean and simple with feminine bling--using papers that represent the school's colors. The stamps used for this project are from the Live Your Dream and Year After Year stamp sets by Stampin' Up!.

Dreams . . .

I know it's still the month of April and we have yet to celebrate Mother's and Father's Day, but also lurking around the corner, for some, is the celebration of graduations. I had this card in my arsenal of samples and thought the stamped sentiment would be perfect for graduation cards.  No special technique for this card . . . just something quick and easy. The stamped sentiment is from the Live Your Dream set by Stampin' Up!


Thanks for stopping by! Have a WONDERFUL day!!
